CHAPTERONE – MHUKA`S GAMES
LINDA*The weather is conduciveforbaby making hunn... It's so romantic and arousing...(she sighs
romantically and looks into her teacher 's eyes sending a message that said let's do it again)
Mr MHUKA*Ummmm you now have to leave the officeit'sgetting late.... Youknow we have to play
our cards close tothe chest so no one can take the duty of sniffer dogs and catch us holding the
wrong end of the stick...Justdress up properly and wecall it a day...
LINDA * (interjecting)... Ahhh hunn why are you being so rude....
Mr MHUKA*... am not being rude hunn youknow youknow youyou you...Ahhh (stammering)
(mwa mwa mwa..-kissing-.) Mr Mhuka doesn't finish off his stammering having his opinion cut
short by his sweet 16 student-cum-lover...
Mr Mhuka is aged 24 and has been teaching Physics and Biology at Highglen NoveCollege forthe
past 2 years now.He is still single (so to speak) and today he taught the form 3 biology students
about sexual reproduction in humans during the lesson and maybe to prove his hardworking
personality, he then decided to go an extra mile to show the practicalway of human sexual
reproduction to Linda, one of his form 3 biology students with whom he has been having an illegal
sexual relationship with for the past few months.
Linda is a heavily built young lady who is eyecatching and has mouthwatering pulchritude with a
figure that likely resembles that of an angel, her skin is akin to that of a mermaid and gash her lips
are juss as salivating as chilled roasted barbecue meat on a braai stand. Her teeth resembles a
chandelier fromone of the rooms of a 5 star (if not 6) Hilton hotel. Everythingabout her is juss on
point as if designed tomake every lazy organ from a man's body gain strength.
(Gu gu gu!!!...) a sound disrupts the grave yard but romantic lovely silence in the office...
The door opens and Mrs Tembiso enters and says, 'Mr Mhuka you are wanted at the staffroom
urgently...'
Mr MHUKA* right get out of my officeyourascal, next time learn to do your workin time and hand
in over your bookfor marking withothers and not bother me nechibookchako wawega wega
ndapedza kumaka mamwe mabook kare...

kukumbira kuti awunze book rake mangwana... Ahh hey ma1 chaiwo... Get out don't lookat me like
am yourboyfriend. Handei kuStaff madam leave this irresponsible sh*t tinganonoke hedu...
(Linda who was holding her laughter inside quickly leaves the officebefore the twoteachers)
Mr Mhuka naMrs Tembiso vanoenda zvavokustaffroomkwakune meeting.
Linda*Sha hee ndandapinda ma1 nhasi, kamother keShona kaya ngakapinde nedzungu muoffice

Lisa jumps into a taxi and heads forMabvuku where she stays leaving her peers who stay around
the neighborhoods in the vicinity of their college.

Mr MHUKA *you can say that again my love...Now let's go inside the lodge... (he gets out of the car
first and quickly rushes to open the door on either side forhis angel to step out and go with him
into the lodge)
Receptionist *My pleasure having you at Great QekGroup of Lodges ma'am and you sir... You are
welcome.
Mr MHUKA *Good evening, thanx. Any rooms available?
Receptionist *oh most definitely sir... Here... sign here... Yourkeys sir, it's room 9 upper floor...Have
a wonderful stay
Mr MHUKA *thanks, let's go hunn.
They leave forthe liftand get to their room in the upper floor.
They start to caress each other gently like a cow leaking it's new born calf.The room attendant had
already brought some boozewhich had secretly been further drugged by this evil so called biology
teacher they called Mr Mhuka, he was really an animal as his name said of him. Within seconds they
both went wild and poor Lisa was now behaving like a poledancer or worse than that. They turned
the radio on and played some all party hits of yesteryear from seunononga, tambisa riri one to
present day maproblems ese dissappear, little did they know it was their dignity, morals, self
respect and freedom that was disappearing and not the so called maproblems. Ummmm OMG my
little girl, poor Lisa was had turned into a Beverly Sibanda of tomorrow.They did what the mind of
men can never imagine even in its wildest fantasy.
Oh my God, it's already 6am ??, Shouted Lisa as she got out of the bed at lightning speed. Mr MHUKA
*chill bae, it's weekend today.
Lisa *<sighs> ohhhh ndandarohwa nehana hunn anyway what'sthe name yechibhodhoro chelast
night it was so strong I lost controlhunn didn't you add some kind of drug of supplements.?

Mr MHUKA *kkkk I wouldn'tthink you couldsuspect me of doing something as inhuman as that I
added nothing, it was a bottle of dry Vice Roy nerimwe reAmarula chete.
Lisa*(doubtful) ummmm hoo. Anyway hunn I gotta be on the move my mom wants to see me before

Lisa *ahh no hunn nonondisiya at mabvuku turn off then ndozokwira mushika shika...
Mr MHUKA*it's okyour highness....
They both lough as they go to the in suit to take coldbaths ready to check out of the lodge....
Tanaka *kkkk konigga kkk haaa ma1 nigga tsaga vayandakazovaita nyowanivaida kuzviita
mubadman (Tanaka is talking to his friend Obby both are doing form 3 and are in Mr MHUKA's
class. It's on a Monday morning after assembly)
Obby* ehezvendikoko, taurai nyayayenyu king....
Tanaka *ko ndakazopinda mazhets nabla Etsovanoshanda kulodge vayakkkkhaaa pakaipa. Iwe
kamwana kaya kaigaya kuti kuno kuMbare kwavanoita chighetto chavochiva.We are uptown
gangsters sha weknow how to handle chiks from the ghetto.
Obby *Nigga curiosity killed the cat just hit the nail straight to the head and stop bitting about the
bush...
Tanaka *ok ok ok Nigga what Imean is that chik akanoita chimero kuna Yolanda akandirambisa
those days auya nedzungu rekughetto kunoku ndakazomuitira plan...
Obby*am all ears buddy Tanaka *I paid the room attendant wepalodge kuti akangoona Lisa apinda
neany person palodge aise mahidden camera muroom make so I can have control overher ever
move. So I was called last night kuti there is something up so hopefully by end of today tinenge tane
video rake then wethreaten to leak the video in the college. So anenge akuita yese yatinoda... Speak
of the devil and the devil is here, bla Etso how are you?
Bla Etso *ndeip oh madhiri ako mfana hunza maamounts angu make sure no one knows of this deal
ini newe wenever met.
Tanaka hands over a pure gold neckchain and a $100 note to bla Etso and he leaves...
Obby*by the way let's checkout the video and see whowas with our victim when she met her fate...
Kana mfesi wacho aine bag we may as well threaten him otipa mari then macosts atapinda kucover
bla Etso obalancer...
Tanaka *yeah that's a deal let's checkout the video...
Tanaka* ahh it's Mr MHUKA....
10
Mr Mhuka *it's Mr Mhuka vaita sei?
Tanaka *ahh sorry sir I was only saying it's Mr Mhuka whois on duty Obby was objecting that....
Obby*morning sir
Mr Mhuka *good morning go to your class didn't youhere the cyrene ring?
Tanaka *ok sir we are sorry... (trying to concealthe camera and memory stick he had gotten from
the so called bla Etso)
Mr Mhuka *and whatthe hackis that? Give me those gadgets Tanaka they aren't allowedin the
college premises unless it's in the computer lab'...
Tanaka*ahhh ummmm sir it's not for youto see, I mean it's private... I mean it's private property
yadad vangu so ahh...
Mr Mhuka *youare wasting my time young man just hand it over to me...
Tanaka hands over the camera to Mr Mhuka and he leaves for class with his friend, Obby.
Right it's time for Physics...Mr Mhuka swiftly takes out the camera in frontof the class and
continues, 'we willlearn about the adaptations of the material used in the manufacture of camera
lenses....'
He continues his lesson joyfully unawareof the sensitive adult movie that was contained in the
device he was using in his lesson.
Mr Mhuka videos and photos as well as retrieving information fromthe devicestorage space?
Tanaka*inini sir... (withthe hope that he would be chosen to do what had been asked and then opt
to delete the information before it spread like wildfirein a manner they had not intended it to
spread)
Mr Mhuka *yes Tanaka come....
Ummmm but not you iweI know youare familiar with the functions of the device... Yes Lisa come
forward...
Lisa* can I have the camera?
Mr Mhuka *here youare... (they make communications beyond schoolordinary schoolbusiness,
their eyes speaking what was canceled beneath their hearts, they were already lost in their own
fantasy)
Lisa takes the camera and by coincidence mistakenly presses a button that displayed the videos in
the camera. As the only 4 hour long home made adult movie automatically played, Lisa could not
believe her eyes. How come the handsome actor witha vibrant six packappears to be her teacher-
cum-lover?How come did the s*xy young teenage female po*nster appear to be her identical twin?
11
Oh wait a moment, 'Idon't have a twinsister, do I?' She is leftwith more questions than answers.
Lucky enough the camera was on mute so there were no ahhhh uh-huh oh my gosh, harder, don't
stop don't stop ahhhh sweeeeeet ah ah ah sounds from the video.
Students * Kkkkkthis is not a gadget from mabvuku hey its uptown material you can'toperate.
Lisa quickly gets backto the present situation due to the shouts fromthe other students who had
already concluded that this little ghetto lady was just glued watching the camera still trying to
figure out how to operate it. Little did they know she had seen a mystery, it appeared to her like
she had been dreaming or had just come out of Fantasy Worldor Stir Kineko cinemas from which
she had been watching a terrible horror movie whichfrightened her. She stood there glued to the
spot like a scarecrow in a maize field. No one knowsthe millions of questions running on her mind.
Lisa suddenly feels her strength being sapped away and blow like a candle in the wind. She feels
her pulse rate dramatically increasing, it seems like a sharp blade is about to be pushed into her
lungs. The other students notice the pale on her face,they stop their mocking chants as they see the
camera falling down as if from the hand of a war journalist who has suddenly taken a ruthless bullet
straight to the heart. Tanaka whowas standing nearby dives in a movie fashion to save his camera
in sync with his teacher, Mr MHUKA who was howeversaving his own camera in the form of Lisa.
That is how the lesson ends. The college medic is called and Lisa is quickly taken to the college
clinic. Tanaka fakes a headache and acquires a pass from the college principal, Prof.Msindo, and
goes home all in the effortof saving his camera but more importantly the video in the device that
had turned the fun filled form three class turn it's air into a tense atmosphere after Lisa had
witnessed the video and collapsed.
Ngrrr Ngrrr.... Phone rings***
Mai Lisa *helo doctorhow is my child am almost there.?
Doc*she is doing fine madam, calm down.She only needs bed rest, at least for now.I called to tell
you not to worry coming here she is OK.

YOU BETRAYEDMY TRUST
CHAPTERTWO – PLAYERSGETPLAYED
Linda doesn't know her teacher-cum-loveris cheating on her with her best friend. She is that kind
of a college girl who thinks she has all the swagg and style, she commands a huge followingof fans
at the college since she is the president of the college students entertainment association (csea)
whose patron is the loverboy teacher, Mr MHUKA whom she shares with her best friend from the
ghetto, Lisa. Linda lives with her parents ' house maid at their family premises in Borrowdale Brook
since the parents live in the diaspora. She drives to and from the college every day unless during
days when she feels like traveling by public transport. She is the only child of Mr & Mrs Landa who
left forUkraine because of their professions. Linda has grown wild because of the absence of her
parents to guide her in these years of her teen life. She goes out clubbing whenever she feels like
unlike her best friend Lisa (the Mabvukugirl) whohas to first flatter & charm her mom to inorder
to kill any suspicions that may try to hinder her.
Unlike Linda, Lisa was forced into mischief by peer pressure. She was once a well reserved girl
aienda kuScripture Union(SU) when she was still learning at Mabvuku High back in the dusty
streets of the ghetto. When her mother transfered her to this so called uptown Highglen Nove
College in town, that's when she tried by hook or crookmeans to fit in like a jig saw puzzle into the
uptown trend of lifestyle at the college whichhad a large proportion of students of the mixed race
(coloureds)from the elite suburbs of Harare. Since she came here, she has since started smoking
marijuana (mbanje), taking broncleer (bronko),heroine and other booze. They occasionally hold
sex parties at secret hired venues in the suburbs surrounding the college. Lisa's mother is the dark
and knowsabsolutely nothing about this new lifestyle her daughter has been exposed to, and since
adopted it and blended in smoothly.
Mr MHUKA, (Donald Donny Mhuka) was born in the remote dry regions of the Chibi district, he
never knew his father since he was born an illegitimate son, when his mother found out she was
pregnant with Donald, she told her so called boyfriend backthen (Donald 's father) whodenied
responsibility overthe pregnancy and revealed he was a happily married man with four lovely
children. Donald' s mother then went backto Chibi where she was born. She lived alone at her late
parents ' dilapidated rural home. She survived on begging and doing menial workfor people who
had a few cowsand chickens. Donald finally got a government science scholarship whichsaw him
being taken out of the poverty stricken village and got educated in Cuba. After he graduated he
came back to Zimbabwe and was lucky to secure a teaching job at this elite college whichpayed him
close to $4 000 a term. (he never discloses his salary to anyone, only God knows how much he
earns) He turned into a modern day prodigal son ever since he got the exposure to a better life, he
14
never visited his poor mother. He has made people to believe he was raised at an orphanage and
never knew his family.His mother, by God's grace is still surviving on a single meal every two days,
back in the rural Chibi of Masvingo.
Tanaka is a naughty and smart form 3 student whoholds a grudge whichhas potential to turn into a
vendetta with Lisa. He got angered by her when she came as a new comer at the college and she
somehow contributed towards the breakup of Tanaka and his girlfriend. Lisa had told Tanaka 's
girlfriend (whowas Linda at that time) that Tanaka was dating cougars (sugar mummies) fromthe
avenues area. Eversince, Linda has not even talked to Tanaka and that's how she became Lisa' s
closest friend. Tanaka howeverhas come up with this videoidea to denigrate Lisa 's personality and
status and possibly revenge forheartache he had to suffer after she caused him and his former
girlfriend to part ways.
Let's see what Tanana will do....???
Will Linda find out she is being cheated...???
Will Lisa 's mother find out her child has gone wild...???
What will happen to Donald (Mr MHUKA)...???
There is gentle knocking on the door…
Mai Lisa *(in a shy voice...) Yes Mr Handsome how can I help you? Please come in. Lisa come and
great our visitor here.
Mr Mhuka* ohh ahh sure. Yeah thanks...
Lisa *hiii swit... Ah sir how are you?
She had almost said sweety, forgetting that her mother was present. She is overwhelmed to see her
teacher lover in her house forthe first time.
Mai Lisa on the other hand is now kind like dumbfounded, she didn't know her daughter 's teacher
could be this handsome. She was meeting him forthe first time and she was regretting why she had
remarried before meeting this extraterrestrial handsome young man. Mai Lisa has suddenly fallen
in love with this teacher-cum-lover of her daughter. She sits there glued to the sofawith her eyes
staring and marveling the wonders of creation this young man is made of.
Mai Lisa thinks to herself, 'this is heaven on earth, mana from heaven... fortune knocks onceat a
man' s door, I have to utilize this moment and make the best out of it...wait a moment what will I do
nechidhara chinozvitibaLisa ichi.... Ummmm come on Mai Lisa it's not time to think about him,

Mai Lisa *I love you...I mean I love it when you prepare cup cakes and some indian delicacies you

kitchen but she didn't like the manner in whichher mother behaved.
Mai Lisa *so youare my child 's biology teacher? Haasi kuita misikanzwa here Lisa uyu mutorei

Mai Lisa *ahhh nhai sir, your child is preparing something as delicious as you I suppose... Kkk am

Mr Mhuka notices this lady has had a terrible crush on him, maybe it's what they term infatuation, I

Mr MHUKA *hunn talk to me am all ears.... Usati pamusasa pamunhondo, juss hit the nail straight to
the head....
Lisa*hunn someone conspired against us, I mean that day we went to the lodge, hidden camera's
were placed in the room we rented and the sexual encounter wehad all night has been videotaped
on that camera you were withthat day, I know it's not you whodid this... Now I demand to know
the owner of that camera.
Mr MHUKA *kkkk tell me youare joking, I am not in the mood forbed time stories and fairytales my
love. . .
Lisa*(claps Mr MHUKA on the cheek so hard that a tooth might have fallen off) DoI sound like am
joking Donald? (withtears flowingdown her cheeks leaving tiny rivulets down the lovely cheeks)
Mr MHUKA *OMG ma1 atanga...
Will Mai Lisa date Donald Mhuka?
What about the sex videotape?
Don'tforget Linda is waiting forthe same Donald Mhuka...
What about Tanaka, the naughty smart boy?
Ummm Mai Donald kwaChibi uko vachirikoikoku?
Ko baLisa vakaona mkadzi aenda nemurairidzi anenge mukwasha anodanana naambuya vachaita
sei?
17
Lisa*is that all you can say? Ma1 atanga and you keep quiet...
Mr MHUKA *hunn calm downkani are you sure youweren't day dreaming? I mean maybe yougot
to obsessed with me especially when I handed the camera to yousuch that you ended up seeing us
on the camera screen doing what we know best....
Lisa *Donald!!! Stop all this drama mhani, am sure of what I saw...
Mr MHUKA * kkkand youexpect me to believe you? Am sorry hunn maybe youwere under some
sort of intoxication that day, kkk I told youbefore that bronko nedhobho hazvisi bho kumababy...
Lisa*nxa you idiot you willwake up when you are fired and thrown behind the bars for your
misdeeds, remember am underaged.... (she says furiously after noticing her efforts to make Donald
mhuka believe her were tantamount to having a wild goose chase. They hit a brick wall.She frowns
and turns around leaving him alone.)
Tanaka *Obby sha whatcan I do now?It's now 4 days since I got the sex tape but you have not
helped me withideas on whatto do withthe video,I have finished editing it and I burned it ontoa
couple of DVD's as if it's some real professional blue movie.Obby*ummmm hazvinetse nigga hantie
only Lisa saw the video at the moment?
Tanaka *yeah I suppose so... Ummmm but haa anofanira akaudza Mr mhuka cozI heard Tom say
akasangana nemota yaMhuka paeconet park kuMasasa nezuro ichiita seyaienda kwaMutare so
there is a possibility aienda kuMabvuku kwana Lisa so probably akaudzwa everything.
Obby*Okhere is what we can do...
Mai Lisa *baLisa come and have yourfood... Handivhare sadza rako uri mudining hausi kubasa sha
am not yourmaid ini...
BaLisa *am now in the bath am taking a quick bath ndiisirewo muwarmer.
MaLisa *mashura angu iwe unonogeza uchiona kuti ndakupedza kubika? Unouyawoisa wega
wapedza kugeza kana une shungu dzekudyazvabuda muwarmer... Handizi boy rako ini.
Mai Lisa has been behaving more and more rude to her husband ever since she met the teacher (Mr
Donald Mhuka). She has since lost every other remaining feeling for baLisa that was left in her... She
is now head over heels in love withthe teacher but she wonders day and night how to get closer to
this seemingly Ben 10 since Mai Lisa was now in her early 30's and Donald Mhuka was only 24 (if
not younger since he was a man of lies, it seemed the only truth he could guarantee youwas a good
morning message whichyou couldonly believe after verifyingwith your watchthat it's really in the
morning)
If I win Mhuka 's heart I will have to get rid of this ugly nuisance whocalls himself baLisa, then
Mhuka becomes the new dady vaLisa - Mai Lisa thinks to herself -
Linda*(on phone) hello mom how is dad?
18
Caller*we are all fine here my darling, how is Zimbabwe?
Linda*Zimbabwe is fine, am glad youcalled mhamha can yousend me $1000 as soon as yesterday

Linda*ummmm mhamha kani handichaenda kuxoolkwachoor I will find other alternatives to get

some more money for clubbing)
Caller *ok wonotorakuWestern Union mangwana
Linda *that's my lovely mom there thanks good bye.... (she hangs up)
Caller*hello hello, veduwe mwana uyu atokata kunge ndiye afona apa haadi kuti ndimbotaura
nemskana webasa waanaye ikoko,nhaka vana vachaitamahure tiri kuno all in the name of looking

not for something she needs desperately, she doesn't give a damn - so to speak - about religion)
LISA *Yes hello, Linda bae how are you?
Linda *am good hunn make a plan we will go to towntomorrow since it's Saturday my mom is
gonna send some few bucks.... Goodnyt
Lisa*hiii ok bae... Nyt
She finally gets what she wanted, some time out for drinking off the stress away...

CHAPTERTHREE – SUDDENTWIST
It's a Friday and the students are overwhelmed about the coming of the weekend since most of
them loveparting, popping champagne, amarula, smoking cigars and all that stuff. Linda, as usual, is
in Mhuka 's office.
Linda*hunn squeeze me tight.... Ahhhhh harder... Ha ha ha ha harder!!! Ummmm you are so sweet

Mr MHUKA *come in... Ah ndiyani?
Tanaka (attempts to open the door).... ah sir it's locked...
Mr MHUKA *oh sorry I was having my lunch time prayer. (I wonderwhy some people add more sin
to an already full basket of transgression)
Tanaka *... KkkkkKkkkkOMG hoo you are now religious?
Mr MHUKA finally opens the door after hiding Linda in the bookcabinet...
Mr MHUKA *yes mfanamy how can I be of help to you?
Tanaka *I wantyou to test this DVD on your officeDVDplayer...

Tanaka *ummm that's not my baby to carry sir, asking you,pleading with you, begging you or which
ever way still it's foryour owngood... Mr Pornstar kkkk(Tanaka laughs as he notices the sudden
change of coloron the faceyemukuru uyu)
Mr MHUKA flies to insert the DVD into the disk tray of his personal computer. Oh My...What a well
scripted blue movie. What the hell is happening? Am I dreaming? Was this what Lisa was trying to
explain? Mhuka has a lot of questions running on his mind right now. He doesn't know whatto do.
He quickly opens the disk tray and goes... - pwa pwapwa - he breaks the disk.
20
Tanaka *kkkk oh sir you broke that one, was it by mistake? Here you can have another one. . Ummm
wait a moment I left the other copies at home....let me go home and collectthem for you. Kkkk
Tanaka leaves the officejumping up and down zvekusvotesa....
Everyonehas leftthe college except the principal who is still checkingif all windowsand properties

selects the spare key forthat officefromthe bunch he was holding. He opens the door.
Principal *You!!! What are youdoing in here? And how did you enter? Should I call the guards?
Huh!!
Linda*no sir let me explain everything... Nothing to explain. . . Get out of my sight and report to my

The car approaches nearer and stops...
Driver *get in madam. .. Am going to Marondera ndopandiri kugumira.

Lisa had called on Donald Mhuka 's phone to apologize for her failure to turn up for their
appointment the previous day, but unfortunately phone inodairwa namai vake asi not even one of
them recognized the voicefrom either side of the call. Lisa anozvibonderedza nekuchema

It's now Monday morning back at the college.... Almost everyone is not in a good mood today. Linda
anenyaya dzake dzekuwanikidzwamuofficeyaMr Mhuka last Friday.
24
I forgot to tell youObby was shot over the weekend and died on the spot saka Tanaka didn't come
to school today,he is still moaning his friend, no one knowswho shot him but the last time he had
talked to Tanaka, he had revealed having receiveddeath threats. Since Tanaka is not on compass
today, nyayayeDVDresex video iya yakambonyararwa.Tanaka wachois also now living in fear
after the tragedy that befall his friend.
Lisa is on compass today but is avoiding Mr Mhuka because of the lady who answered her call
paphone yaMr Mhuka over the weekend. "Had Mr Mhuka lied about his marital status?", izvi
ndozvimwezviri mundangariro dzaLisa.
Mr Mhuka on the other hand is in hell after learning that the principal wanted to see him over the
issue yekuwanikwakwaLinda muofficemake when all other kids had gone home. Mr Mhuka
zvakare varikuzvizivakuti Lisa akange atukwanehure ravo(mai Lisa) paweekend.... Mr Mhuka
zvakare vagamuchira email kubvakuchikorochekumusha kwavokuti amai vavovakanga
vashaika.... Kkk this is too much to bear, Mr Mhuka zvakare,haaa ma1, is still thinking hard about
that sex tape with Lisa, his student, whom her mother is dating.
So many people now are between a rockand a hard place....
Principal *Yesss come in.... (Mr Mhuka and Linda get into the principal 's office)
Principal *ohhh yes no time to even ask how you are doing.... Mr Mhuka I called youto get a detailed
satisfactory explanation fromyou first concerning last Friday' s incident where I found this good
looking smart young lady in your officelockedinside there when all other kids had vacatedthe
college premises... ??Please note, I need a DETAILEDSATISFACTORY EXPLANATION....
Mr Mhuka *ahhh sir what it means... Ahhh I mean you are the one to explain... Ahhh ah ah am sorry...
Principal*Mr Mhuka, talk to me did youlockher up by mistake or what?
Mr Mhuka *actually sir am surprised to hear all this, I don't know how she ended up in my office,
Linda how did youget into my officewithoutmy permission? (Mhuka anga orasira nyaya
kumwana)
Linda *ahh ahh actually sir am sorry but I will have to tell the truth...
Mr Mhuka *what truth do want to create!!!! I will hit you withthis stick...
Principal *no no no sir don't interrogate her that way let her speak I also want the truth... As it is

yarira and youlocked me inside musingazive. I had planned kuti ndobuda nepahwindo but I failed.
(she finished dishing out her lies and Mhuka was impressed by the foolish intelligence of his
student-cum-lover, the truth of the matter is last Friday Tanaka paakauya nedisk paya and Mhuka
akabva ahawanza Linda mucabinet, pakabuda Tanaka, Mhuka anga atoveconfused nenyaya yesex
tape raanga aratidzwa so akabuda omhanyamhanya akabva akanganwa kuti muofficemuna Linda

Principal *it's OK haa there is no story here, Mr Mhuka just go and give her a strong seven rounds
ambodikitira achimhanya kumagrounds uko that's her punishment.

punishment yakeyestrong seven rounds but akazopihwa dzebonde kwete dzekumhanya.
Mai Lisa has thought of a plan to get rid of the obstacle that existed between Mhuka and her.
Mai Lisa is thinking, "haaa uyu mushonga unoita chete haambomire anotofa chete, anoda kunyanya
kuzviitafata sterek, kutozvionasababa Lisa ahh iye mdara wese iyeye ndomudii, nhasi anopfuura
chete ndikamuisira muchikafu,kana afa ndosara ndichinyasofara hangu naMhuka wangu."
Mai Lisa is now planning to kill baLisa such that she enjoys and probably marry Donald Mhuka after
baLisa passes away.
Mai Lisa *baLisa chiuya udye darling, nhasi I prepared for youyour favoritedish.... Ukutsvageiko
muwarmer nhasi ndakuuisira mudining food yako.Am now a changed person hunn, I restored my

action, that is to wet his pants and develop a running stomach whichautomatically excretes
porridge like material whichthey term manyoka in our vernacular language....)

CHAPTERFOUR – SUDDENDEATH
Neighbor*what are the screams for...?(she suddenly keeps quite as she is welcomedby the
unpleasant scene in the room...she rushes out to call other people and soon the whole house is full
of people taking pictures of the late baLisa and busy sharing them with friends and relatives on
social media instead of using those phones to quickly inform the police)
Mai Lisa has been called and she arrives in sync with the police.
Mai Lisa *Mhaiiiiii murume wangu waenda kani mhai, mhaiweeee nhai baLisa wandisiiireiko mhai

The police is also taking statements from the neighbors, Mhuka and Lisa (whohas now gained
consciousness after adirwa mvura)
They also took withthem, the suicide note (so to speak, little did they know it was fake)

It's now Tuesday...
Lisa is not at the college, she went for her step dad 's burial kwaChibi kumusha kwakavigwamai
Donald Mhuka.
Linda is at schoolbut she is sad forthe passing on of her best friend' s step dad but aboveall she is
lonely since there is no one to gossip with. Linda now takes Lisa to be her blood sister, their
friendship can be compared to rain and water. I wonder what will happen when Linda learns the
shock of her lifethat the person she took as her ownsister is also in love withthe same teacher
29
(Donald Mhuka) as her... Lisa howeveris fully aware kuti Linda and her are sharing the same man.
Lisa chaasi kuzivakuti mai vake vatouraira step dad vakekuti vanyasodananawo ne the same
culprit (Donald Mhuka) whomshe is sharing with her best friend, Linda. Ummm hameno...
Anyway today Tanaka is now back at the college though he hasn't really accepted the tragic loss of
his friend Obby who was shot dead the previous weekend, it has not been established whoreally
killed Obby and police are still investigating the matter. Tanaka hasn't howevergave up on the issue
of the sextape yaDonald Mhuka naLisa...
Mr Mhuka *Tanaka am sorry forthe passing on of yourfriend ahh.... Tanaka *hey sir don'tkeep on
reminding me about that issue, just tell me whatyou called me for...Period
Mr Mhuka *oh am sorry boy, I called youso we can settle the sextape issue amicably, I mean what's
the deal so we all settle for a smart conclusion?
Tanaka * I need cooperation fromyou twoguys, Lisa and you...Failure to adhere to my commands
by either one of you willresult in the leakage of your explicit video, am very serious about it and I
won'thesitate to execute the plan if you fail to cooperate, fromyou I need US$5000. it's not a lot of
money, I need it in a week'stime. And fromyour partner in crime, I willtalk to her in privacy.And
neither of you should discuss withone another on what I would have agreed with the two of you.
Break any single rule and youwill facethe music.
Tanaka leaves Mhuka's officebut Mhuka doesn't even notice how the boy has left, he is now
stressing on where he willget the money from in only seven days. Hupenyu mutoro, mukuru uyu
apanguva yaChimbetu chaiyo...
Principal*Mr Mhuka I called you to inform youabout very bad news...
Mr Mhuka*(kuvhunduka chati kwatara chokwadihunge une katurikwa-Mhukapaanongonzwa kuti

sir am really sorry I didn't do it... Ahhh I mean ahh am very sorry.... Ahhh my job I need it... Mr
Principal sir ah ah ah am sorry....
Principal *(vakashamiswa kwazvonekusagadzikana kwemukuruuyu aizviti Donald Mhuka
ndokubva ati kwaari...) "Ahhh Mr Mhuka don'thumiliate me sir, weare the ones to be sorry because
we awe youyour salary whichwe have called you to inform youthat we are facing a lot of
hardships this month so paying youon time will be challenging. I hope youunderstand our
30
situation and bear with us. I howeverpromise that your salary and allowances willbe deposited
into your bank account in 8 days. The college hasn't been spared by the economic meltdown of our
country.(as the norm with many bosses, putting the blame on the economy just to coverup for
their maladminstration and misappropriation of funds).... He continues... The sanctions haaa hey its
all because of him... (ah kkk ani wacho?ZvatovekumaSanctions kare? Ko vana vese vari
kubhadhara fees wani... Saka ma sanctions apinda papi apa... Mateacher anobhadhara marentals
neanthem yemasanctions here iyi?)
Mr Mhuka *(sighs) ahhhh its oksir I understand the economy...(am not so sure if it's the economy
that he really understand or was it the escape from his tragedy of losing his job)...He continues...
Youwill just have to keep to your promise... (of course the news was not as bad as he expected but
still bad news has no good in it, Mr Mhuka 's pay date has been postponed but will Tanaka also
postpone the date he is expecting his vharamuromo of US$5000 from Mr Mhuka? If not, then what
magic will Mr Mhuka play in order to cover up this loophole? Yeah ma1 haachabvi pana Mhuka...)
Did you notice something from this incident? Don'tthink it's the economy to blame for the delay in
the payment of salaries at the college, no no no how can that be when the college business is among
the most lucrative businesses in our survival Zimbabwean economy,maybe nezvimwe zvakaita
sekutengesa airtime, kutengesa makumbo (ehuku, emombe, ummm I heard one human rights
activist talking about commercial sex work whatsoever so I would like to believe kutengesa
makumbo evanhu futi is now another brisk business otherwise knownas thigh vending by the so
called pleasure managers) So blaming the economy forthis failure by the college is tantamount to
blaming the doctorfor one's failure to satisfy their spouse. The blame is on MAI MHUKA (the late
amai vaDonald Mhuka, the teacher) Ohh yes you heard me right, her avenging spirit is slowly but
surely coming back to leave no stone unturned... Silently but fatally...Ngozi yavondoyave kuunza
minyama kuna Donald Mhuka...
Principal *You are dismissed!!! Go home straight and don't loiter in the school premises, tomorrow
is Wednesday so come in yousports attire... (the principal dismisses the students at fourpm since
he has been left to do all basic duties until the teachers have received their salaries but forone
other teacher, the stress is not about the salary alone. ??
Mr Mhuka is now backin his officebuthis mind is wrestling itself thinking where now he could get
the money to pay Tanaka so that he would not let the cat out of the bag.
Mr Mhuka thinks of a plan, yes this is the last option to get the money....
Mai Lisa is sweeping in the dining room when she says to herself, "yeah am now free, hapasisina
baLisa vaiswerondikanganisa love yangu naDonny. Ummm but Donny anenge mudiki kwandiri ane

Linda *hiii Lisa wauya? I thought kuti you weren'tcoming to schooltoday love ndandakutoda

Lisa *ahhh comeon dear, i called youwani earlier telling you I was gonna be a little bit late today.
Ummm besty, you are so sweet so you can'tdo withoutme?
Linda*ummm Lisa don't pretend you don'tknow, sha youare the best friend I only have, youknow
all the other chiks on campus are jealous of me except for you.I wish I stayed in the ghetto maybe
girls from that side aren't beefy. Lisa to be frank withyou, youreally showed me what true
32
friendship really means. I promise I will never betray your trust in me neither will I ever leave you
my friend, I mean for better or worse...
Lisa*(her pulse is now behaving as if it has been connected to the National electricity grid, ropa
rakumhanyamhanya achifunga kuti zvinowith all the trust and love Linda has for her, what would
happen the day she learns that the person whom she trusted more than a sister was sharing with
her everything including her boyfriend,Donald Mhuka??? - Yeah this is good friendship where there
is nothing limited to anyone, you share everything -)
Lisa *ahh ahh am so humbled besty you also showed me true friendship, you share withme
everything you have... The bridge that exists between uptownand the ghetto, youignored. Am
humbled forsho...
Linda *Never mind babe, we are friends.... But ummm of course we share everything, but not my
man kkkk(this is probably the most prophetic jokeI have ever heard) by the way till now you
haven't introduced me to yourman besty... Inga Donny wangu unomuziva wangu, the most
handsome man in the world. As muscular as a Canaanite man, at the sight of him, I tend to lose my
senses temporarily. Sha Donny ndomuda zvisingaite if he used juju on me then it's wise forhim to
go back to the sangoma and get some more of the juju cozits spicing out our romance. I love my
man and I trust him... I know he willnever cheat on me... Many girls are trying out their luckand I
just smile and say am the luckiest lady on earth...
Lisa *yeah sure youare, (at this point in time, Lisa 's heartbeat has increased even more)... Ahhh I
don't have a man babe, am running solo, I mean ah ah...
Linda *don't worry babe, a gentleman will certainly comearound who lovesyou to bits... But Lisa I
broke up with Tanaka but I loved him, now he is coming back but unfortunately I can'tgo out with
him youknow how much I love Donny wangu, yes we both know whatTanaka did in the past was
very wrong but now he has repented I suppose, trust me he is the hottest dude on campus, save for
the fact that I dated him, youcan go out with him babe... He is cool,loving, gentle and ahh good in
bed... Ahh I mean I wanted to say good and never bad... He onceasked me about you... Come on
friend, you can'tsay no to yourbesty... I have a brilliant match foryou, let me callhim...
Tanaka *Yes whatdid you callme for, Linda?
Lisa*ahh she wanted to ask if you had comedriving to schooltoday ahh....
Linda *kkkshy girl, don't act silly, lookhere Tanaka, Lisa here says she is also interested in youso I
excuse myself from youtwo guys... (Linda leaves the two in the computer lab)
Tanaka *Ohhh yes am sorry about the passing away of your dad...
Lisa *Oh yeah its now water under the bridge, am sorry forthe loss of yourbest friend, Obby...
33
Tanaka *yeah its now history, wellbaby so how do we play it? I mean we both understand youare
dating Mhuka, our teacher and I have that sex tape to prove it....
Lisa *please Tanaka what do you want from me I mean please don't talk about that video, it's
traumatic... It disturbs me a lot...
Tanaka *Well do youreally think if you and I fall in love,I will still expose that video, by the way you
are such a good act in bed. The moves on that video ummm they left every lazy organ of my body
stronger than before witheverything standing independently....
Lisa*please shut up Tanaka, aren't youashamed of yourself?
Tanaka *Ummm teach me how to get ashamed of myself...By the way, are you ashamed yourself?
Anyway withoutwasting much of my precious time, let me dictate to youthe rules of my game... 1-
Punctuality 2-Obedience 3-No Questions 4-Keep secrets to avoid leakage of bigger secrets 5-From
today weare lovers...
Failure to comply,the I spill the beans... Good day my love... Mmmm mwa (he gently kisses Lisa on
the forehead and leaves)
Mai Donald *nhai Donny mwanangu, wakandidarirei nei wakandisiya uchida hupenyu

YOU BETRAYEDMY TRUUST
CHAPTERFIVE – THE VOLATILE RETURN
Mai Lisa *Baby I love youlike that, it's yoursaul that am attracted to, not yourphysical stature...
Mai Lisa vanodaro vakabata ruoko rwaMhuka uyoakarara pabed after undergoing some sort of eye
operation to remove the remaining pieces of his damaged eye. Mai Lisa has come to visit him since
she is now trying by hookor crook means to gain Mhuka 's attention and love
wholeheartedly...Vatoona kuti kubvaziso kwaMhuka is a blessing in disguise to her since that one
eyed face wouldscare away other potential competitors for Mhuka' s love.
Mhuka *I loveyou Tembi (Mai Lisa), with all my heart and soul, you have stood by me during these
hard times, youare the only family I have left. I I I killed my mother... I I it was very...Ah
ndakatadzira mai vangu...dai hupenyu hwaitengwa ndainotenga hwamai vangu so I could rectify my
mistakes...
Tembi (Mai Lisa) *shhhh nyarara hunn, mai vakohavana basa ko ndiwe wakavapa poison here,
vakatofavakatofahunn, dai vaikuda mudzimu wavowaisakusiya uchipinda tsekwende
yakadai...just forgot about her ok.She is gone and gone forgood, vakatodyiwanehonye.
Mhuka *Tembi youare talking sense, handisini ndakavapa poison ini vakafawonechakapedza
imbwa, hameno ikoko...
Mai Lisa *kkk yeah youare now talking, ndikoko hunn wangu... But baby why is it that you don't
want me totell Lisa that am dating you?She deserves to know cozhanty you said we willget
married soon here hunn...
Mr Mhuka vanorohwanehana, vanoshaya rekutaura, zvavaomera.Ipapo vanobva vanyepera
kurwadziwaneronda ravo ndokubvavavhara nyaya yayatangwanaMai Lisa iyi.
Tanaka is playing racing moto on his mobile phone galaxy note 5, their class teacher, Mr Mhuka is
still admitted in hospital and goodness knowswhere he will get the money to pay his hospital bills
and mind you,hospital or no hospital bills, Tanaka still wants his US$5000 and it's now 4 days away
from the deadline for the submission of the said amount in full settlement, failure of whichwill lead
to addition of salt to the wound on Mhuka 's heart.
Tanaka *So hunn, have weresolved to go out together tonight...?
35
Lisa*Don't hunn me, we both know weare only dating forthe sake of setting our differences. If not
for the reason that you are threatening me withthat sex tape, I would not have ever dreamt of
dating such a cowardlike you, a womaniser, an idiot, you are heartless... Why do you have to abuse
my rights, youdon't even have respect forhumanity let alone respect for the rights of the girl
child.... Now you ask me to sleep with youevery now and then and yesterday I told you I had been
diagnosed of an STI which youinfected me with.I hate you, I hate youuuu ahhh mhamha I betrayed
your trust, dad was right youshouldn't have trusted me to the extent of giving me the freedom
whichis not worth deserving to a child like me, these so called children 's rights killed me, if you
had disciplined me with some beating maybe I might have been a better person... Am sorry mom I
betrayed your trust...
Tanaka *hey hey low class fellow,this is not a funeral, we are still in schooland please don't try to
do your cat and mouse play with me. You think I don't see those are crocodiletears... Nxa handisi
mu14 wekuguruvakwenyu kumarokesheni uko,am an uptownclassic dude.... Understand? And
please never again should you give me those lectures of yours, pawakandirambanisa naLinda did
you ever think about my feelings? My heart was shattered and yet youstill have the guts to question
my heartlessness, ohhh yes I don'thave a heart anymore, the one I had before is the same that you
broke when you caused drama and made my Linda turn away from me... Ummm am done with you,
see youat the lodge at exactly 10pm today, failure of whichI will upload your video on YouTube
and share the link onto the school's Facebook page... Lalalalala (anosvotesa Lisa obva asimuka
ndokumupa kakiss on the forehead)
Lisa hasn't told anyone kuti akudanana naTanaka (ummm hakusi kudanana as such but kungoti
Tanaka is sexually abusing Lisa everyday kuti iite tsindidzo such that he doesn't let the cat out of
the bag in as far as their sex tape. So Tanaka kuna Mhuka needs US$5000 and from Lisa anoda at
least 2 sessions in bed per day for the next whole month without protection. How cruel? Lisa
complied just to save her already ruined dignity.
Linda *Lisa my best friend. . . Ummm from today I no longer have to callyou my best friend but I
will callyou my sister. Anywaysthese days you are not so cheerful, just enjoy life to the maximum
hey. Here try this, inini sha am stressing about Mhuka youknow the humiliation he suffered when
he spoiled his pants paakabva ziso marimwe zuro and all that... It really disturbed me but if you
take this all your problems willdisappear... (Linda hands over a tablespoon amount of coccainto
Lisa, she has been introduced to this type of drug) they both sniff and within moments, they are
both high on the cokeplant.
Mai Lisa *yes who is this...?
Caller *yes it's Sergeant Mutama of Harare Central PoliceStation Homicide Department. Can I see
you forinvestigation concerning the death of yourhusband whose funeral we suspect foul play... Be
in Harare gardens at 12 midday. Thank you. ..
Sergeant Mutama* yes ma'am, am detectivesergeant Mutama, I called youearlier so wecould
rendezvous here and speak. Am the officerwho is investigating the case in whichyour husband
died a sudden death in a suspected case of poisoning, I am saddened to say I found out strong
36
evidence to support the allegations that youare the one whopoisoned your husband, the reason of
whichis best knownto yourself.
Mai Lisa *ahhh officermakanganisa kuita mainvestigations enyu. ini ndingauraye murume wangu
zvechokwadi.Nhai asi munondishura officer? Ahhh zvakaoma, seka nhamo serugare mwana
wemuhera...
Sergeant Mutama *am not here for yourdrama madam, it's clear from our investigations that the
results from our national fingerprint experts show kuti mafingerprints enyu ndiwo akawandisa
pabepa rakange rine yamaiti suicidal note. And again it's clear from the video caught on Close
Circuit Television (CCtv) kuti makaburuka kombi yakanzi Gafa right in front of the Eastgate mall
along Robert Mugabe road at 10 am 25 minutes after the death of your husband yet kupolice
makapa statement yekuti mamabva kumba na0700hrs... And I also took your plastic bin musi
waitorwamabin Tuesday morning nevakomana vekanzuruand I came along with them pretending
to be one of them. So ndakamuona a bottle of termite poison.
Mai Lisa* ahhh offerngatitaurirane
Vanodaro vaona kuti zvokwadishe had been caught holding the wrongend of the stick. Sergeant
Mutama * ahhh ummm youwere supposed to rot in jail so ahhh inini I willhave to make sure the
docketissue disappears kunge maproblems and no docket will be opened foryour case. However,
nothing comes forfree in Zimbabwe, you know my salary can't buy all the necessities I require as
compared to the salaries of other regional police officers,saka mukandipawo $300 se deposit nyaya
yenyuyapera but kana musingadi, you will rot in jail. Don't call me, I will have to call youand make
sure we never met today... Mukaita mafunniz amai next time munenge makuuya kucharge officeor
to court not kumafuramhepo kwandakudanai uku.
Mai Lisa * ndanzwisisa shef... (Mai Lisa is now lost deep downin her thoughts, she is now regretting
why she committed the murder, now it's either she pays a bribe or she rots in jail.
Mr Mhuka * Good morning class.
Class *Goooood, Goooood,goooooooo(yousuddenly remember how we used to have fun in
dragging our good morning back in high school just for mischief?) gooood mooooooorning sir...
Mr Mhuka *am fine (although he wasn't fine) sit down and can webegin our first lesson forthe day,
Biology,can someone tell me what we talked about in the last lesson, just in summary.
Class *sir, sir, sir, (youhear the ta, ta, ta, of the hands trying to draw the attention of the teacher)
Mr Mhuka *yes Tanaka, tell us... (by doing this he thought he was doing Tanaka a favor)
Tanaka *We leant about the human alimentary canal but in...
Mr Mhuka *yes that's awesome clap hands forthe intelligent boy...
Class *(only those who aren't jealousy put together their hands)
37
Mr Mhuka *yes Tanaka my boy you wanted to tell us more, feel free show them your intelligence go
on what else?
Tanaka *I wanted to say but in Guide and Counseling welearnt that it is an ignominy for students to
fall in love with teachers and last Sunday in churchwe were taught to pay backeverything we owe
people, if you oweme US$5000 then youshould give it to me. And again wealso....
Mr Mhuka interrupts but trying as much as he could to maintain the half officioussmile on his face
but however, his bone marrow was now boiling and his joins had been sapped of all the strength.
The other students are in stitches, varikuputikanekuseka although they are not aware of what
Tanaka really means in is somehow metaphorical answer.
Mr Mhuka * Ahhh yeah youextended gore redzidzo sure, we have learnt but ahhh come on my boy
we are in a biology lesson so I only expected biological material.
Tanaka *yeah bio means life sir, so I thought everything we experience in lifeshould be included in
the biology lesson...
The class bursts into laughter again, nowadays Mr Mhuka has dramatically lost the respect that he
previously had on the premises, ever since he lost one of his eyes and to make matters worse the
disgusting smell that came from inside of his officewhenhe messed his pants when the accident
that claimed his eye occurred.Vana vechikorovakumudherera zvisingaite and he has been reduced
to below the levels of schoolcare takers. However,he has not lost the swagg in terms of dressing
and womanizing.... And his handsome facehas even somehow increased the good looking because
of the addition of the tinted spectacles he now wears to coverthe hole in one of his eye sockets.
Linda, Lisa, Mai Lisa and quite a number of other hot ladies in townstill go crazy over this dude.
And overthe past few weeks, Mhuka has grown into a public figure - talk of the town- as one of the
most known controversial socialites in town.
They say the higher you go, the harder you fall... Willthis growing popularity of Mhuka prophesy
doom for his gruesome hard falling and humiliation one day? Only time will tell.
After the lesson: Tanaka * yes sir yousaid you wanted to see me after the lesson.
Mr Mhuka * yes mfanamy I called you to plead withyou to please stop trying to ruin my dignity and
self respect...
Tanaka *kkkk whatdignity does a coacroachlike youhas to talk about nhai mukuru? Youruined it
yourself and what is leftof yourso called dignity are only ruins so it's better you clearly say I should
not destroy the ruins of your dignity in as much as I should not ruin the ruins of the Great
Zimbabwe, it attracts tourism kkkk
Mr Mhuka is now furious and he advances towards Tanaka and claps him on the cheek so hard that
the class next door to his officego, "hiiiiiiiii" Mr Mhuka locks the door of his officeand comes back
to destroy this naughty boy, Tanaka. However,Tanaka had respected Mhuka pambama yekutanga
but as Mhuka comes back to attack again like a vicious cobra, Tanaka holds Mhuka 's hand and
38
looks him straight into the eyes and asks him, "sir kana ndikakukuvadzai principal tinovati
tarwirei? If I lose a place as a student after beating you up, I will still get home schooled or go to
another college but if youget fired after I leak the sex tape will youever find a job in the education
sector?
This made sense, probably the first time this moron ever talked sense since his birth. However,
Mhuka 's anger had even increased because of the hidden challenging sense between the
punchlines of this boy.
Mhuka anovhizura nesimba obvaachiti hecho chepamatsenganzungu kuna Tanaka. Little did
Mhuka know that this young man was an experienced martial artist... Ndopaakairasa ipapo Mhuka.
Tanaka paanobata shaya yakeonzwa kuti yeah chematsenga nzungu chaaanga agadzwa chaive
chisina kuchipa, anotanga kuviranehasha ndokuwaruka zvekungeachabata ceiling, anobva
achidhaya one chibhakera chakanogara Mhuka pabendekete ruokorwemurairidzi ndokupera
simba pakarepo, Mhuka paanoti tatara tatara oda kudzorera anonzwa bhutsu ichimugara
nechapashaya, zino repamberi ndokuti pu kwakadarouko, iye ndiye wondomu achindowira
pachair yake semunhu apihwa chigaro....
Mhuka anobva ati, "ummm (achigomera) sorry younger you win, wandikuvadzaummm"
Tanaka advances again towards Mhuka 's chair achida kunoti amupamhe chimwe chibhakera.
Anosvikomuti siki kumusikiza nembama mukuru oti zimhere kwetsu. Paanoona kuti kungosikizwa
chete anobva ati zii okumbira ruregerero.
The students in the next class are thinking that Tanaka is being hit so hard naMhuka yet it's the
exact opposite, Jonah is swallowing the fish today,what a marvel to watch?
Tanaka then holds Mhuka 's colarand spits him into the eyes then says, "right sir, I need my money
in 3 days and I mean three days, failure to do so I will unleash the videoonto the social media basa
renyu ropera and yourLisa willget expelled from the college but by then I would have been
satisfied banging her hard fourto fivetimes a day like a sex slave.
Panotaurwa zvaLisasimba remhuka riri muna Mhuka rinomanifester, he jumps up so suddenly and
grabs Tanaka by the throat.
Tanaka *ahhh ahhh si si sir am ru ru running short of breath ahh
Mhuka anoramba akadzipa Tanaka pahuro, zvechokwadimweyawakutoperamuna Tanaka, iye
anga achataurireiwo kuti ari kurara naLisa everyday semuripo kubva kuna Lisa? Akanga azvisikira
moto muziso ega, it was apparent that Mhuka loved Lisa more than her mother (Mai Lisa) and more
than her best friend Linda as well.No wonder he couldn'tstomach the news that Tanaka had just
vomited, it went straight to attack the heart like a sharp blade.
Gu gu gu (there is a knockon the door toMhuka's office)
The knockbrings back Mhuka to present circumstances fromthe wilderness of thoughts he had
been lost in, he quickly realizes that Tanaka has lost consciousness and he panics and lets go of his
39
neck. Tanaka 's body falls hard to the ground. Mhuka stands there speechless and glued to the spot
like a roadside traffic light. He is now thinking whatto do with the body if really it's dead.
It's now around 7 pm and Mhuka is still in the officewatchingTanaka' s seemingly lifeless body
before his eyes, Mhuka had never murdered anyone before and learning from the experience when
he saw baLisa dead two weeksago, one could conclude he was not the typicaltype who couldwork
in a mortuary or handle first aid to unconscious people whatsoever.
Ngrr Ngrr Ngrr (phone rins)
Mr Mhuka *yes baby how are you? (witha low tone)
Lisa *am not fine youignored my knockat your officeand I left am now at the college gate it's
getting late I was coming from the library, I thought maybe youare with Linda in there...
Mr Mhuka *noo ahh (sighs) I am in deep shit, I think I juss committed murder... Tanaka is...
Lisa*whattttt!!! How, why,where? Tell me.. Why Donald why would youmurder someone...
Mr Mhuka *calm down Lisa come back here and make sure there is no one else in the college
premises.
Lisa* ok okok am on my way...(shecuts off the call)
Lisa was now afraid why she was worriedabout losing Tanaka yet he was abusing her, as she
trotted back to Mhuka's officethoughts were running up and down her mind. She thought to
herself, "have I grown to love Tanaka? Why am I worried much about losing him than losing Donald
through arrest? Why do I think of Tanaka so oftenthan normal when I claim to hate him to the last
drop of blood? Why do I adore him so much when he doesn't even care about me? Why do I feel so
proud of being a woman when he rapes me more than when I bed Donald? Wait a moment is it even
rape? No I think it's not. He is just something else in bed. His moves when he goes in and out... The
sweet melody of his voicewhen he whispers in my ears how sweet my womanhood is. Ummm oh
my gosh he is simply extraterrestrial, I think he comes fromPluto cozis simply too hot to be
African. Am confused I think am in lovewith Tanaka. Foolish me why does lovehas to prove me dull
to this extend? "
Yeah she was eating herself up with thoughts, it was clear she was falling in love with this uptown
handsome dude, Tanaka. He was muscular and had a mouthwatering smile that send a chilly cold
rush of blood down every babe 's spine at the sight of him. He was multitalented in art and was a
semi-celeb at the college. Save forthe factthat he was a very naughty boy,a heavy drunkard and
womanizer whoalso acted as a Ben 10 kuchembere dzekumaAvenues.
Lisa reaches Mhuka's officeand tries to open the door but it was locked.
Mr Mhuka *ndiyani?
Lisa *shut up and open the door...
40
He recognizes his angel's voiceand hurriedly opens the door. As Lisa enters, Mhuka is waiting ready
for a kiss withhis eyes closed, Lisa rushes to where Tanaka's body is lying and she kisses Tanaka
gently on the forehead and whispers, "wakeup please" with tears of love from deep downher heart
flowingdown her cheeks leaving tiny rivulets like marks on the facespoiling the loud make up on
the face whichcould make one easily mistaken her fora Lady Gaga or something along those lines.
After a couple of seconds, Mhuka opens his eyes and notices he has been waiting fora dhongi
rakaora, hapana Lisa anga ambomutarira nepose yake yekuda kukiswa. He fumes withjealous and
anger and moves towards Lisa whomhe grabs forcefully and starts kissing her violently as if he is
some thirsty calf quenching it's thirst fromits mother cow.
Lisa anobva aita zvehasha kuzvibvisapana Mhuka and says, "are you mad, weshould be thinking of
how to dispose off this corpse and not that stupid romance of yours"
Mr Mhuka* yeah youare right Lisa I don't know what hot hold of me? Silly me... What do you
suggest wedo?
Mhuka tried hard to concealthe feeling in him, he saw this was not the right time to ask about what
has been going on behind his back to settle the deal resex tape between Lisa and Tanaka. Otherwise
it would create another scene on top of what was already there.
Lisa *we just put him in yourvehicle 's boot and go and dump him at eleven months uchibva
wandiperekedza kuMabvuku.
This sounded like a week craftedidea, Mhuka didn't waste a moment raising any objection. He raps
up Tanaka' s body and raises it up and places it on his shoulders in a sack like material and switches
off all the lights in the passage to the college car park.
College Guard * maswera sei Mr Mhuka...
Lisa backsteps and hides by the corridor to avoid being identified by the guard walking late with a
male teacher at the premises and to make matters worse accompanyingsomeone carrying a corpse.
Mr Mhuka vanoitasevachawira pasi nokutya ndokuzoti...
Mr Mhuka *taswera guard maswera sei, mamauya kuzoona kuti adzima malights ndiyani?
College Guard *ndizvozvoshef zvatondinetsa
Mr Mhuka* haa no ndini ndikungoitira kuti bhiri remagetsi risakwire zvakanyanyakuti college
iwane mari yekukupai imi vashandi. College Guard *yeah ndizvozvosir... Ummm yeah kudzidza
kwakanaka zvinoitakuti munhu afunge uye asarasikirwe nemari yaanogona kuchengetedza. Regai
ndikutakurirei saga renyu sir, rimbori nei?
Mr Mhuka *haaa thanks a lot, never mind. It contains biological chemicals that need careful
handling. Ndezvemishonga yekuLaboratory saka zvinotodakubaya necaution chaiyo.
41
College Guard *hey haa pakaipa zvinomutori nayo kosheni (caution) yacho mumaoko enyu?
Hazvinetse munongondizorawo kosheni (caution) yachothen I travel the saga bag for youover the
car, sir"
The guard is illiterate and dull so Mr Mhuka has already confused him with the English he used to
lie to him about the contents of the sack he is carrying.
Mr Mhuka* zvakanakaimozonditakurira mangwana.
College Guard *Ho kay sir, mozondipawo kosheni(caution) yenyu ndinoisa huku dzangu dzapera
nenhata pamwe dzingambofa...
Mr Mhuka doesn't answer back, he has noticed he has been chatting to a moron all this while.
Lisa and Mhuka quickly drives off safely fromthe college premises and head for town,havo
naRobert ndiye pfee muna Mutare road vakananga pa11 months...
Hapana akataura nemumwe kusvika pa11 months. Vanomisa motokari yavopaside, off the road
and switches off the vehicle lights, Mhuka quickly drags the sack from the boot and rolls it into the
water....
Paanotarira mumugwagwa anoona mota yamapurisa yakananga kwavari....
Mupurisa 1* Eh vakurumabatwa nemhosva mbiri, yekutanga mapinda red robot, yepiri it's parking

The followingday at school:

Linda*yeah youare talking sense besty, but you know how much I loveMhuka. I won'tsurvive

pregnancy test. My God please let me not test positive to the pregnancy test.
Lisa rushes to Mr Mhuka, their class teacher and fakes some illness then gets a pass to go and get
some pills from the nearby pharmacy.
Lisa gets to the pharmacy and buys the pregnancy test and comes back to schoolin no time. She
rushes to the toilets and collectedher urine and tested it.

You are welcome. Mr MHUKA *Good evening, thanx. Any rooms available? Receptionist *oh most definitely sir... Here... sign here... Yourkeys sir, it's room 9 upper floor...Have a wonderful stay Mr MHUKA *thanks, let's go hunn. They leave forthe liftand get to their room in the upper floor. They start to caress each other gently like a cow leaking it's new born calf.The room attendant had already brought some boozewhich had secretly been further drugged by this evil so called biology teacher they called Mr Mhuka, he was really an animal as his name said of him. Within seconds they both went wild and poor Lisa was now behaving like a poledancer or worse than that. They turned the radio on and played some all party hits of yesteryear from seunononga, tambisa riri one to present day maproblems ese dissappear, little did they know it was their dignity, morals, self respect and freedom that was disappearing and not the so called maproblems. Ummmm OMG my little girl, poor Lisa was had turned into a Beverly Sibanda of tomorrow.They did what the mind of men can never imagine even in its wildest fantasy. Oh my God, it's already 6am ??, Shouted Lisa as she got out of the bed at lightning speed. Mr MHUKA *chill bae, it's weekend today.

Speak of the devil and the devil is here, bla Etso how are you? Bla Etso *ndeip oh madhiri ako mfana hunza maamounts angu make sure no one knows of this deal ini newe wenever met.

Obby*morning sir Mr Mhuka *good morning go to your class didn't youhere the cyrene ring? Tanaka *ok sir we are sorry... (trying to concealthe camera and memory stick he had gotten from the so called bla Etso) Mr Mhuka *and whatthe hackis that? Give me those gadgets Tanaka they aren't allowedin the college premises unless it's in the computer lab'... Tanaka*ahhh ummmm sir it's not for youto see, I mean it's private... I mean it's private property yadad vangu so ahh... Mr Mhuka *youare wasting my time young man just hand it over to me... Tanaka hands over the camera to Mr Mhuka and he leaves for class with his friend, Obby. Right it's time for Physics...Mr Mhuka swiftly takes out the camera in frontof the class and continues, 'we willlearn about the adaptations of the material used in the manufacture of camera lenses....' He continues his lesson joyfully unawareof the sensitive adult movie that was contained in the device he was using in his lesson. Mr Mhuka videos and photos as well as retrieving information fromthe devicestorage space? Tanaka*inini sir... (withthe hope that he would be chosen to do what had been asked and then opt to delete the information before it spread like wildfirein a manner they had not intended it to spread) Mr Mhuka *yes Tanaka come.... Ummmm but not you iweI know youare familiar with the functions of the device... Yes Lisa come forward... Lisa* can I have the camera? Mr Mhuka *here youare... (they make communications beyond schoolordinary schoolbusiness, their eyes speaking what was canceled beneath their hearts, they were already lost in their own fantasy) Lisa takes the camera and by coincidence mistakenly presses a button that displayed the videos in the camera. As the only 4 hour long home made adult movie automatically played, Lisa could not believe her eyes. How come the handsome actor witha vibrant six packappears to be her teacher- cum-lover?How come did the s*xy young teenage female po*nster appear to be her identical twin?
  • 12. 11 Oh wait a moment, 'Idon't have a twinsister, do I?' She is leftwith more questions than answers. Lucky enough the camera was on mute so there were no ahhhh uh-huh oh my gosh, harder, don't stop don't stop ahhhh sweeeeeet ah ah ah sounds from the video. Students * Kkkkkthis is not a gadget from mabvuku hey its uptown material you can'toperate. Lisa quickly gets backto the present situation due to the shouts fromthe other students who had already concluded that this little ghetto lady was just glued watching the camera still trying to figure out how to operate it. Little did they know she had seen a mystery, it appeared to her like she had been dreaming or had just come out of Fantasy Worldor Stir Kineko cinemas from which she had been watching a terrible horror movie whichfrightened her. She stood there glued to the spot like a scarecrow in a maize field. No one knowsthe millions of questions running on her mind. Lisa suddenly feels her strength being sapped away and blow like a candle in the wind. She feels her pulse rate dramatically increasing, it seems like a sharp blade is about to be pushed into her lungs. The other students notice the pale on her face,they stop their mocking chants as they see the camera falling down as if from the hand of a war journalist who has suddenly taken a ruthless bullet straight to the heart. Tanaka whowas standing nearby dives in a movie fashion to save his camera in sync with his teacher, Mr MHUKA who was howeversaving his own camera in the form of Lisa. That is how the lesson ends. The college medic is called and Lisa is quickly taken to the college clinic. Tanaka fakes a headache and acquires a pass from the college principal, Prof.Msindo, and goes home all in the effortof saving his camera but more importantly the video in the device that had turned the fun filled form three class turn it's air into a tense atmosphere after Lisa had witnessed the video and collapsed. Ngrrr Ngrrr.... Phone rings*** Mai Lisa *helo doctorhow is my child am almost there.?

  • 14. 13 YOU BETRAYEDMY TRUST CHAPTERTWO – PLAYERSGETPLAYED Linda doesn't know her teacher-cum-loveris cheating on her with her best friend. She is that kind of a college girl who thinks she has all the swagg and style, she commands a huge followingof fans at the college since she is the president of the college students entertainment association (csea) whose patron is the loverboy teacher, Mr MHUKA whom she shares with her best friend from the ghetto, Lisa. Linda lives with her parents ' house maid at their family premises in Borrowdale Brook since the parents live in the diaspora. She drives to and from the college every day unless during days when she feels like traveling by public transport. She is the only child of Mr & Mrs Landa who left forUkraine because of their professions. Linda has grown wild because of the absence of her parents to guide her in these years of her teen life. She goes out clubbing whenever she feels like unlike her best friend Lisa (the Mabvukugirl) whohas to first flatter & charm her mom to inorder to kill any suspicions that may try to hinder her. Unlike Linda, Lisa was forced into mischief by peer pressure. She was once a well reserved girl aienda kuScripture Union(SU) when she was still learning at Mabvuku High back in the dusty streets of the ghetto. When her mother transfered her to this so called uptown Highglen Nove College in town, that's when she tried by hook or crookmeans to fit in like a jig saw puzzle into the uptown trend of lifestyle at the college whichhad a large proportion of students of the mixed race (coloureds)from the elite suburbs of Harare. Since she came here, she has since started smoking marijuana (mbanje), taking broncleer (bronko),heroine and other booze. They occasionally hold sex parties at secret hired venues in the suburbs surrounding the college. Lisa's mother is the dark and knowsabsolutely nothing about this new lifestyle her daughter has been exposed to, and since adopted it and blended in smoothly. Mr MHUKA, (Donald Donny Mhuka) was born in the remote dry regions of the Chibi district, he never knew his father since he was born an illegitimate son, when his mother found out she was pregnant with Donald, she told her so called boyfriend backthen (Donald 's father) whodenied responsibility overthe pregnancy and revealed he was a happily married man with four lovely children. Donald' s mother then went backto Chibi where she was born. She lived alone at her late parents ' dilapidated rural home. She survived on begging and doing menial workfor people who had a few cowsand chickens. Donald finally got a government science scholarship whichsaw him being taken out of the poverty stricken village and got educated in Cuba. After he graduated he came back to Zimbabwe and was lucky to secure a teaching job at this elite college whichpayed him close to $4 000 a term. (he never discloses his salary to anyone, only God knows how much he earns) He turned into a modern day prodigal son ever since he got the exposure to a better life, he
  • 15. 14 never visited his poor mother. He has made people to believe he was raised at an orphanage and never knew his family.His mother, by God's grace is still surviving on a single meal every two days, back in the rural Chibi of Masvingo. Tanaka is a naughty and smart form 3 student whoholds a grudge whichhas potential to turn into a vendetta with Lisa. He got angered by her when she came as a new comer at the college and she somehow contributed towards the breakup of Tanaka and his girlfriend. Lisa had told Tanaka 's girlfriend (whowas Linda at that time) that Tanaka was dating cougars (sugar mummies) fromthe avenues area. Eversince, Linda has not even talked to Tanaka and that's how she became Lisa' s closest friend. Tanaka howeverhas come up with this videoidea to denigrate Lisa 's personality and status and possibly revenge forheartache he had to suffer after she caused him and his former girlfriend to part ways. Let's see what Tanana will do....??? Will Linda find out she is being cheated...??? Will Lisa 's mother find out her child has gone wild...??? What will happen to Donald (Mr MHUKA)...??? There is gentle knocking on the door… Mai Lisa *(in a shy voice...) Yes Mr Handsome how can I help you? Please come in. Lisa come and great our visitor here. Mr Mhuka* ohh ahh sure. Yeah thanks... Lisa *hiii swit... Ah sir how are you? She had almost said sweety, forgetting that her mother was present. She is overwhelmed to see her teacher lover in her house forthe first time. Mai Lisa on the other hand is now kind like dumbfounded, she didn't know her daughter 's teacher could be this handsome. She was meeting him forthe first time and she was regretting why she had remarried before meeting this extraterrestrial handsome young man. Mai Lisa has suddenly fallen in love with this teacher-cum-lover of her daughter. She sits there glued to the sofawith her eyes staring and marveling the wonders of creation this young man is made of. Mai Lisa thinks to herself, 'this is heaven on earth, mana from heaven... fortune knocks onceat a man' s door, I have to utilize this moment and make the best out of it...wait a moment what will I do nechidhara chinozvitibaLisa ichi.... Ummmm come on Mai Lisa it's not time to think about him, funga plan yekutora jindakomana riri pamberi pako iro. Lisa*mom what should I prepare.

(she says furiously after noticing her efforts to make Donald mhuka believe her were tantamount to having a wild goose chase. They hit a brick wall.She frowns and turns around leaving him alone.) Tanaka *Obby sha whatcan I do now?It's now 4 days since I got the sex tape but you have not helped me withideas on whatto do withthe video,I have finished editing it and I burned it ontoa couple of DVD's as if it's some real professional blue movie.Obby*ummmm hazvinetse nigga hantie only Lisa saw the video at the moment? Tanaka *yeah I suppose so... Ummmm but haa anofanira akaudza Mr mhuka cozI heard Tom say akasangana nemota yaMhuka paeconet park kuMasasa nezuro ichiita seyaienda kwaMutare so there is a possibility aienda kuMabvuku kwana Lisa so probably akaudzwa everything.

Unouyawoisa wega wapedza kugeza kana une shungu dzekudyazvabuda muwarmer... Handizi boy rako ini. Mai Lisa has been behaving more and more rude to her husband ever since she met the teacher (Mr Donald Mhuka). She has since lost every other remaining feeling for baLisa that was left in her... She is now head over heels in love withthe teacher but she wonders day and night how to get closer to this seemingly Ben 10 since Mai Lisa was now in her early 30's and Donald Mhuka was only 24 (if not younger since he was a man of lies, it seemed the only truth he could guarantee youwas a good morning message whichyou couldonly believe after verifyingwith your watchthat it's really in the morning) If I win Mhuka 's heart I will have to get rid of this ugly nuisance whocalls himself baLisa, then Mhuka becomes the new dady vaLisa - Mai Lisa thinks to herself - Linda*(on phone) hello mom how is dad?

Since Tanaka is not on compass today, nyayayeDVDresex video iya yakambonyararwa.Tanaka wachois also now living in fear after the tragedy that befall his friend. Lisa is on compass today but is avoiding Mr Mhuka because of the lady who answered her call paphone yaMr Mhuka over the weekend. "Had Mr Mhuka lied about his marital status?", izvi ndozvimwezviri mundangariro dzaLisa. Mr Mhuka on the other hand is in hell after learning that the principal wanted to see him over the issue yekuwanikwakwaLinda muofficemake when all other kids had gone home.

So many people now are between a rockand a hard place.... Principal *Yesss come in....

Mai Lisa has thought of a plan to get rid of the obstacle that existed between Mhuka and her.

Linda is at schoolbut she is sad forthe passing on of her best friend' s step dad but aboveall she is lonely since there is no one to gossip with. Linda now takes Lisa to be her blood sister, their friendship can be compared to rain and water. I wonder what will happen when Linda learns the shock of her lifethat the person she took as her ownsister is also in love withthe same teacher

Anyway today Tanaka is now back at the college though he hasn't really accepted the tragic loss of his friend Obby who was shot dead the previous weekend, it has not been established whoreally killed Obby and police are still investigating the matter. Tanaka hasn't howevergave up on the issue of the sextape yaDonald Mhuka naLisa... Mr Mhuka *Tanaka am sorry forthe passing on of yourfriend ahh.... Tanaka *hey sir don'tkeep on reminding me about that issue, just tell me whatyou called me for...Period Mr Mhuka *oh am sorry boy, I called youso we can settle the sextape issue amicably, I mean what's the deal so we all settle for a smart conclusion? Tanaka * I need cooperation fromyou twoguys, Lisa and you...Failure to adhere to my commands by either one of you willresult in the leakage of your explicit video, am very serious about it and I won'thesitate to execute the plan if you fail to cooperate, fromyou I need US$5000. it's not a lot of money, I need it in a week'stime. And fromyour partner in crime, I willtalk to her in privacy.And neither of you should discuss withone another on what I would have agreed with the two of you. Break any single rule and youwill facethe music. Tanaka leaves Mhuka's officebut Mhuka doesn't even notice how the boy has left, he is now stressing on where he willget the money from in only seven days.

I hope youunderstand our
  • 31. 30 situation and bear with us. I howeverpromise that your salary and allowances willbe deposited into your bank account in 8 days. The college hasn't been spared by the economic meltdown of our country.(as the norm with many bosses, putting the blame on the economy just to coverup for their maladminstration and misappropriation of funds).... He continues... The sanctions haaa hey its all because of him... (ah kkk ani wacho?ZvatovekumaSanctions kare? Ko vana vese vari kubhadhara fees wani... Saka ma sanctions apinda papi apa... Mateacher anobhadhara marentals neanthem yemasanctions here iyi?) Mr Mhuka *(sighs) ahhhh its oksir I understand the economy...(am not so sure if it's the economy that he really understand or was it the escape from his tragedy of losing his job)...He continues... Youwill just have to keep to your promise... (of course the news was not as bad as he expected but still bad news has no good in it, Mr Mhuka 's pay date has been postponed but will Tanaka also postpone the date he is expecting his vharamuromo of US$5000 from Mr Mhuka? If not, then what magic will Mr Mhuka play in order to cover up this loophole? Yeah ma1 haachabvi pana Mhuka...) Did you notice something from this incident? Don'tthink it's the economy to blame for the delay in the payment of salaries at the college, no no no how can that be when the college business is among the most lucrative businesses in our survival Zimbabwean economy,maybe nezvimwe zvakaita sekutengesa airtime, kutengesa makumbo (ehuku, emombe, ummm I heard one human rights activist talking about commercial sex work whatsoever so I would like to believe kutengesa makumbo evanhu futi is now another brisk business otherwise knownas thigh vending by the so called pleasure managers) So blaming the economy forthis failure by the college is tantamount to blaming the doctorfor one's failure to satisfy their spouse. The blame is on MAI MHUKA (the late amai vaDonald Mhuka, the teacher) Ohh yes you heard me right, her avenging spirit is slowly but surely coming back to leave no stone unturned... Silently but fatally...Ngozi yavondoyave kuunza minyama kuna Donald Mhuka... Principal *You are dismissed!!! Go home straight and don't loiter in the school premises, tomorrow is Wednesday so come in yousports attire... (the principal dismisses the students at fourpm since he has been left to do all basic duties until the teachers have received their salaries but forone other teacher, the stress is not about the salary alone. ?? Mr Mhuka is now backin his officebuthis mind is wrestling itself thinking where now he could get the money to pay Tanaka so that he would not let the cat out of the bag. Mr Mhuka thinks of a plan, yes this is the last option to get the money....

Tanaka *I wanted to say but in Guide and Counseling welearnt that it is an ignominy for students to fall in love with teachers and last Sunday in churchwe were taught to pay backeverything we owe people, if you oweme US$5000 then youshould give it to me. And again wealso.... Mr Mhuka interrupts but trying as much as he could to maintain the half officioussmile on his face but however, his bone marrow was now boiling and his joins had been sapped of all the strength. The other students are in stitches, varikuputikanekuseka although they are not aware of what Tanaka really means in is somehow metaphorical answer. Mr Mhuka * Ahhh yeah youextended gore redzidzo sure, we have learnt but ahhh come on my boy we are in a biology lesson so I only expected biological material. Tanaka *yeah bio means life sir, so I thought everything we experience in lifeshould be included in the biology lesson... The class bursts into laughter again, nowadays Mr Mhuka has dramatically lost the respect that he previously had on the premises, ever since he lost one of his eyes and to make matters worse the disgusting smell that came from inside of his officewhenhe messed his pants when the accident that claimed his eye occurred.Vana vechikorovakumudherera zvisingaite and he has been reduced to below the levels of schoolcare takers. However,he has not lost the swagg in terms of dressing and womanizing.... And his handsome facehas even somehow increased the good looking because of the addition of the tinted spectacles he now wears to coverthe hole in one of his eye sockets. Linda, Lisa, Mai Lisa and quite a number of other hot ladies in townstill go crazy over this dude. And overthe past few weeks, Mhuka has grown into a public figure - talk of the town- as one of the most known controversial socialites in town. They say the higher you go, the harder you fall... Willthis growing popularity of Mhuka prophesy doom for his gruesome hard falling and humiliation one day? Only time will tell. After the lesson: Tanaka * yes sir yousaid you wanted to see me after the lesson. Mr Mhuka * yes mfanamy I called you to plead withyou to please stop trying to ruin my dignity and self respect... Tanaka *kkkk whatdignity does a coacroachlike youhas to talk about nhai mukuru? Youruined it yourself and what is leftof yourso called dignity are only ruins so it's better you clearly say I should not destroy the ruins of your dignity in as much as I should not ruin the ruins of the Great Zimbabwe, it attracts tourism kkkk Mr Mhuka is now furious and he advances towards Tanaka and claps him on the cheek so hard that the class next door to his officego, "hiiiiiiiii" Mr Mhuka locks the door of his officeand comes back to destroy this naughty boy, Tanaka. However,Tanaka had respected Mhuka pambama yekutanga but as Mhuka comes back to attack again like a vicious cobra, Tanaka holds Mhuka 's hand and
  • 39. 38 looks him straight into the eyes and asks him, "sir kana ndikakukuvadzai principal tinovati tarwirei? If I lose a place as a student after beating you up, I will still get home schooled or go to another college but if youget fired after I leak the sex tape will youever find a job in the education sector? This made sense, probably the first time this moron ever talked sense since his birth. However, Mhuka 's anger had even increased because of the hidden challenging sense between the punchlines of this boy. Mhuka anovhizura nesimba obvaachiti hecho chepamatsenganzungu kuna Tanaka.

Akanga azvisikira moto muziso ega, it was apparent that Mhuka loved Lisa more than her mother (Mai Lisa) and more than her best friend Linda as well.No wonder he couldn'tstomach the news that Tanaka had just vomited, it went straight to attack the heart like a sharp blade. Gu gu gu (there is a knockon the door toMhuka's office) The knockbrings back Mhuka to present circumstances fromthe wilderness of thoughts he had been lost in, he quickly realizes that Tanaka has lost consciousness and he panics and lets go of his

He is now thinking whatto do with the body if really it's dead. It's now around 7 pm and Mhuka is still in the officewatchingTanaka' s seemingly lifeless body before his eyes, Mhuka had never murdered anyone before and learning from the experience when he saw baLisa dead two weeksago, one could conclude he was not the typicaltype who couldwork in a mortuary or handle first aid to unconscious people whatsoever. Ngrr Ngrr Ngrr (phone rins) Mr Mhuka *yes baby how are you? (witha low tone) Lisa *am not fine youignored my knockat your officeand I left am now at the college gate it's getting late I was coming from the library, I thought maybe youare with Linda in there... Mr Mhuka *noo ahh (sighs) I am in deep shit, I think I juss committed murder... Tanaka is... Lisa*whattttt!!! How, why,where? Tell me.. Why Donald why would youmurder someone... Mr Mhuka *calm down Lisa come back here and make sure there is no one else in the college premises. Lisa* ok okok am on my way...(shecuts off the call) Lisa was now afraid why she was worriedabout losing Tanaka yet he was abusing her, as she trotted back to Mhuka's officethoughts were running up and down her mind. She thought to herself, "have I grown to love Tanaka? Why am I worried much about losing him than losing Donald through arrest? Why do I think of Tanaka so oftenthan normal when I claim to hate him to the last drop of blood? Why do I adore him so much when he doesn't even care about me? Why do I feel so proud of being a woman when he rapes me more than when I bed Donald? Wait a moment is it even rape? No I think it's not. He is just something else in bed. His moves when he goes in and out... The sweet melody of his voicewhen he whispers in my ears how sweet my womanhood is. Ummm oh my gosh he is simply extraterrestrial, I think he comes fromPluto cozis simply too hot to be African. Am confused I think am in lovewith Tanaka. Foolish me why does lovehas to prove me dull to this extend? " Yeah she was eating herself up with thoughts, it was clear she was falling in love with this uptown handsome dude, Tanaka. He was muscular and had a mouthwatering smile that send a chilly cold rush of blood down every babe 's spine at the sight of him. He was multitalented in art and was a semi-celeb at the college. Save forthe factthat he was a very naughty boy,a heavy drunkard and womanizer whoalso acted as a Ben 10 kuchembere dzekumaAvenues. Lisa reaches Mhuka's officeand tries to open the door but it was locked. Mr Mhuka *ndiyani? Lisa *shut up and open the door...
  • 41. 40 He recognizes his angel's voiceand hurriedly opens the door. As Lisa enters, Mhuka is waiting ready for a kiss withhis eyes closed, Lisa rushes to where Tanaka's body is lying and she kisses Tanaka gently on the forehead and whispers, "wakeup please" with tears of love from deep downher heart flowingdown her cheeks leaving tiny rivulets like marks on the facespoiling the loud make up on the face whichcould make one easily mistaken her fora Lady Gaga or something along those lines. After a couple of seconds, Mhuka opens his eyes and notices he has been waiting fora dhongi rakaora, hapana Lisa anga ambomutarira nepose yake yekuda kukiswa. He fumes withjealous and anger and moves towards Lisa whomhe grabs forcefully and starts kissing her violently as if he is some thirsty calf quenching it's thirst fromits mother cow. Lisa anobva aita zvehasha kuzvibvisapana Mhuka and says, "are you mad, weshould be thinking of how to dispose off this corpse and not that stupid romance of yours" Mr Mhuka* yeah youare right Lisa I don't know what hot hold of me? Silly me... What do you suggest wedo? Mhuka tried hard to concealthe feeling in him, he saw this was not the right time to ask about what has been going on behind his back to settle the deal resex tape between Lisa and Tanaka. Otherwise it would create another scene on top of what was already there. Lisa *we just put him in yourvehicle 's boot and go and dump him at eleven months uchibva wandiperekedza kuMabvuku. This sounded like a week craftedidea, Mhuka didn't waste a moment raising any objection. He raps up Tanaka' s body and raises it up and places it on his shoulders in a sack like material and switches off all the lights in the passage to the college car park.
